2 General Site Planning This chapter provides general recommendations for physical planning and site preparation for installation and operation of the HP 3PAR S-Class and T-Class Storage systems. General Planning Successful installation of HP 3PAR Storage systems requires careful planning and supervision in collaboration with authorized HP representatives. Proper planning will help provide for a more efficient installation and greater reliability, availability, and serviceability.
• Verify that electrical service wiring has been installed at the server’s predetermined location. Refer to the respective product specifications for detailed requirements. • Verify of any additional support equipment is properly installed and operational. At installation time, the HP representative will supervise the delivery and unpacking of the equipment. The representative must also review the crate with the customer to check that the shipping crates have not been tampered with.
package for obvious damage or signs of tampering and notify both HP and the carrier of any issues. Shipping container measurements are as follows: • Cabinet crate (one per 2M rack cabinet): Height: 83 inches (210.8 cm) x Width: 42 in. (106.7 cm) x Depth: 51 in. (129.5 cm) Approximate shipping weight: 1172 lb (531.6 kg) • Drive magazine container (one per 16 drive magazines): 38 in. (96.5 cm) x 34 in. (86.4 cm) x 28 inc.
Figure 4 Front View of the Cabinet Shipping Container The equipment is removed from the front of the container by pulling on two straps that wrap around the cabinet.
Figure 5 Front View of the Container with Ramp Down Acclimatization HP 3PAR Storage systems shipped or stored at extreme temperatures may require time to adjust to operating temperatures before starting up. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change for a non-operating system is 18° F/hr (10° C/hr). The storage system requires time to acclimatize to new environmental conditions before being powered on.
3 Structural/Environmental Considerations You should consider the following when choosing or designing your facilities for HP 3PAR Storage systems: • Equipment location and layout that allows efficient use, easy maintenance, and future expansion. • Facility construction that provides a suitable operating environment, sufficient power and adequate protection from fire, contamination, or other hazards. • Suitable temperatures and appropriate air quality that is free from environmental contaminants.
Table 10 Raised Floor Specifications Specification Value Flatness tolerance Per 10 ft (3 m) span Overall Less than 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) Less than 0 .10 in.

(0.5 mm) Pedestal assembly load Axial Side At least 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) At least 30 ft-lb (40.7 N-m) Placing each storage system cabinet across two floor tiles is strongly recommended.
However, before placing a cabinet on floor tiles shared with other cabinets or equipment, first verify that the floor panels can tolerate the weight and pressure loads. Maximum weight and pressure loads for storage systems are provided in Table 11 (page 20).
Figure 8 Tile Cutout Specifications WARNING! To prevent potential collapse, loaded floor panels that have cutouts to facilitate cable routing may require additional reinforcement. Anchoring Dimensions for HP 3PAR Storage Systems For some installations, you may want to anchor HP 3PAR Storage systems to the floor for better stability, especially in active seismic locations.

Additional Flooring Recommendations Consider the following recommendations for raised floor installations: • The flooring should be high enough to allow under the floor routing of cables and specified airflow to system air intakes. The recommended minimum floor clearance is 30.5 cm (12 in). An additional 7.6 cm (3 in) should be allowed for cables and connectors. A floor clearance of 46 cm (18 in) is recommended for new construction.
Figure 12 Hot-Aisle/Cold-Aisle Layout Form rows of racks or cabinets perpendicular to air conditioners. This formation facilitates an unobstructed flow of heated air down the aisles to the air conditioner return ducts. Heated air must not be forced to travel over or between the cabinets to get to the air conditioner return ducts. Doing so could heat the air in the cold aisles. Ensure that any free-standing equipment does not allow air to flow between the hot and cold aisles.
NOTE: The S800 and T800 Storage systems have circuit breakers located at both the front and rear of the system. It is necessary to maintain access to both the front and rear circuit breakers. Table 12 Recommended Access Areas for 3PAR Cabinets Cabinet Surface Access Area During Operation Front 36 in (91.4 cm) Rear 30 in (76.2 cm) Left and right sides None NOTE: HP cabinets do not require side access during operation. However, during installation, it is a good practice to allow 3 ft (91.
percent of the load, whereas the dry heat of electronic equipment produces a sensible heat ratio of over 95 percent. Prior to installation, verify that the operating site is equipped with a cooling system that can support all thermal emissions. Use the average and maximum thermal emissions of storage system components listed in Table 14 (page 26) to estimate the cooling requirements for an HP 3PAR Storage system based on a specific system configuration.
recommendations for outside air in comfort air-conditioning are 10 to 15 percent of the airflow, the computer room environment is cleaner and operates more efficiently if outside air is kept below 1 percent of the airflow. Cooling/heating and humidification needs are reduced, and a minimum of contaminated building air is introduced into the installation area. Air Cleanliness Air contaminants can cause equipment malfunction and can damage HP 3PAR Storage systems.
4 Power Requirements This chapter describes the general power requirements for the HP 3PAR Storage systems. Powering HP 3PAR Storage Systems The cabinets used to house the HP 3PAR Storage system components are divided into power domains where each contains a drive cage or controller node and two dedicated power supplies.
NOTE: If a storage system cabinet does not have components installed in the top four bays (bays 0–3, or the highest 16U of the cabinet), the two upper PDUs (PDU 0 and PDU 1) are not used to power the system and need not be connected. Redundant power is still supplied to the lower bays in the cabinet through PDU 2 and PDU 3. Storage server PDUs are equipped with NEMA® L6–30 or IEC 60309 connectors, depending on the region.
Figure 15 Power Banks in the PDU WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system components that reside in other cabinets. Power Cord Connections Storage systems arrive with all internal power cords configured and connected.
NOTE: When routing the power cords through the bottom of the 2 meter cabinet, the usable cord length extends 9.5 to 10 feet away from the cabinet. If routing from the top, approximately 4 feet of the power cord is usable. Electrical Requirements and Limitations Before physically installing an HP 3PAR Storage system, verify that the operating site has the necessary electrical circuitry.
Installing a lightning protection device on the server room power source is recommended when the following conditions exist: • The primary power is supplied by an overhead power service. • The utility company installs lightning protectors on the primary power source. • The area is subject to electrical storms or an equivalent type of power surge. Electrostatic Discharge HP 3PAR Storage systems are susceptible to failure due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

5 Network, Cabling and Connectivity This chapter provides information about determining the best network configuration for the HP 3PAR Storage systems being installed at your site, necessary connections and cable routing options. NOTE: The information that follows assumes an established network and discusses how to connect an HP 3PAR Storage system to that network.
Figure 20 Storage System and SP on the Customer Network (Shared Topology) A shared topology requires: • A static IP address and system name for the storage system. • Two Ethernet connections from a switch or hub to the storage system controller nodes. • A static IP address for the SP. • One Ethernet connection from a switch or hub to the SP. • At least one management station on the network segment.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the private network segment also have a management station to communicate with the SP. NOTE: This configuration does not permit the SP to communicate with the remote support center.
